Firefox 4 b7 gives a Profile Missing error when launching

Firefox worked before on my OS X (10.6.5) system, but now gives a Profile Missing error that says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I can't launch the Profile Manager using the Terminal command. I tried putting a clean install of Firefox 3.6.12 on, but the process closes as soon as it opens without any dialogs. No icon pops up on the dock.

Zensa posted a very useful command and it works well to solve this problem ...

Give it a try and it helps ... although your mac will ask for your admin password ... that made me scare a little.
Firefox 4 works fine now on my MacBook pro with OS X 10.6.7

  • Firefox sync gives me an unknown error when attempting to sync.

    I am trying to sync Firefox 4 between two different windows machines. I set up a sync account on one, and then add the other computer as another device. As many times as I try this, only one computer will sync, and the other give me the error: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action. I have had no luck resolving this and would love some advice.

    I have the same issue with the nightly and aurora versions. Firefox 11 works fine.

  • Profile missing error, PLEASE HELP!

    I have read and tried all of the different options within the forum and nothing is working! Its so frustrating! A while back i randomly had the first profile missing error and to fix it i simply reinstalled firefox, when that didnt work I went through and completely deleted anything that had firefox or mozilla in all my libraries figuring i could then just reinstall a complete fresh install. But i was way wrong and that definitely didnt help. Ive now tried all of the different methods on this site to fix the profile missing error and it isnt working, which i think is because when it says to go to ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles folder it is completely empty and there is not a profile to be found. So i am unable to start firefox at all so i cant make a new profile that way, or any other method at all! Please please help! Im running OSX yosemite 10.10.3, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
    This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
    *Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\&lt;profile&gt;\
    *Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    *Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
    You can use one of these to make Firefox create a new default profile or reuse an existing profile:
    *Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    *Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile<br />Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

  • Still having a problem with Firefox going to "restart a session" even after re-installing Firefox. Keeps giving me "script error" when closing down. How do I fix this?

    As stated previously...I have removed and re-installed Firefox, but am still getting "script error" when shutting it down and going to "restore session" when opening. Please advise what to do about this problem. Thank you.

    Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
    Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
    Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
    Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
    The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

  • I can't load firefox because it says "Profile Missing- Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." Can't delete either. Help?

    I have a Mac and I can't open firefox because it says "Profile Missing-Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." Then I tried to delete it by moving it to trash and it says it cannot be moved to the trash.

    Create a new profile to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Error when launching promoted app from RemoteAPP

    Hi:
    We are receiving this error when launching any application from RemoteAPP, we tried promoting Calculator, Notepad, etc. and received the same error as well.
    "Personalization:
    This theme can't be applied to the desktop.
    Try clicking a different theme"
    Help!
    Thank you,
    Stangride

    If you launch the app directly from the session hosts using the same account that your using with remoteapp what are you getting? Try and RDP to the session host when you attempt it. I would also check rsop.msc to see if you have any GPO or scripts that
    are manipulating themes.

  • After Effects Plugin Error when launching

    I recently installed Red Giant Knoll Light Magic Pro plugin and get the following error when launching AE CS4 9.02 on a 2.53Ghz Intel Macbook Pro with 4Gb Ram and Snow Leopard.
    After Effects has encountered an error.
    [/Chincillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MediaLayer/VideoFilterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEPlug inVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]
    then I get:
    After Effects can't continue: An output contract violation has occured!
    then:
    After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore
    I have also lodged a support ticket with Red Giant but wanted to see if anyone had experienced, or could shed any light on this error code.
    Thanks

    As a start, move the KLF plug-in out of the shared MediaCore folder (Library:Apllication Support:Adobe and something; not on my Mac ATM) to the conventional AE plug-in folder (Applications:Adobe After Effects CS4:Support Files:Plug-Ins) I've reminded my friends at RG a hundred times, but their installer stil luses bad default locations. If that doesn't fix it, then indeed you have a problem. Which version of the plug-in are you using? Most complaints revolve around v2.5's GPU usage, which is on by default and causes a lot of trouble. Older versions do not do this, so they are more stable....

  • Java Error when launching BLS

    Using xMII 11.5 SP3, one of our other xMII developers is getting the following Java error when launching the BLS editor:
    Unable to load resource: http://xmiid.oxy.com/Lighthammer/CMSLogicEditor/activation.jar
    His computer was reimaged a couple of days ago with our standard image (Windows XP SP2, IE6 SP2).  It worked fine on his computer prior to the re-image.  He's reloaded Sun Java 1.4.2_01 on his computer (our company default is 1.4.1_01.)
    I can't duplicate the error on any of our test computers - one of which was also recently re-imaged.
    Any ideas?
    David

    David,
    So other standard imaged machines are running 1.4.2_01 and have no issues?  I would expect to see problems with the webstart cookie handling for that version, but I'm running _15....
    Try clearing the Java WS cache on the problematic client instance to watch it try to download all the libraries fresh.
    File...Preferences, reconfirm that the None radio button is selected on the General tab, and then on the Advanced tab, press the Clear Folder button.
    You could also make sure before hitting the editor link in the Menu.jsp that there are no dead or leftover javaws processes running in the task manager.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Adobe Premiere Pro error when launching software...

    I checked my drivers and they are up-to-date. I am using Core I7 Windows 7. I did have Adobe Premiere CS5 installed and it worked fine. When I subscribed to the Creative Cloud I uninstalled the CS5 installation and downloaded the CS6.
